Dave Grohl fires back at Courtney Love’s ‘hateful Twitter rant’

Foo Fighters rocker Dave Grohl has fired back at Courtney Love, his late Nirvana band mate Kurt Cobain’s widow, over her allegations he tried to seduce the couple’s daughter.

Love updated her “Guess What Courtney Said Now” tweet alert on Tuesday night with claims Grohl “hit on” her teenage daughter, Frances Bean Cobain. The private posts were obtained by Gawker.com and published.

She wrote, “I hear from frannies (Frances’) roommate that @davegrohl hit on frances, and that she was curious, I’m not mad at her, him i am about to shoot, dead.”

According to Love, Frances Bean and the 43-year-old Foo Fighters front man were recently all over each other in the backseat of a car: “The driver … was telling me … that he had his hands all over her.”

She also alleged that Grohl, who has been married since 2003, is “sexually obsessed” with Frances Bean and has slept with many of her friends over the years.

But Grohl has now taken aim at Love, insisting her Twitter.com rant is completely false.

A statement from him reads: “Unfortunately Courtney is on another hateful twitter rant. These new accusations are upsetting, offensive and absolutely untrue.”

Then Thursday, Love responded, telling the New York Post, “(I am) certainly not going to retract anything… Unfortunately, Dave is on another Kurt rant, by turning him into a Muppet and hitting on his daughter. We got no money from ‘The Muppets,’ we got nothing. It made Jason Segel feel special, but Dave knows Kurt wouldn’t have wanted to be a Muppet.”

Grohl allowed the Nirvana song “Smells Like Teen Spirit” to be featured in Jason Segel’s 2011 “Muppets” film.

Frances Bean, who is estranged from her mother, is engaged to rocker Isaiah Silva.
